No matter what, when you major in theater arts whether you want to write or be a director or design scenery or whatever, when you are a freshman at UCLA then - I guess it's still the same way - you had to take an acting class.

I never regretted turning down anything, I never regretted losing a job because I always felt something else was out there.

If you see a kid in school, who is a little shy ... that's when you should reach out. When you do, you are going to open up a flower and discover something wonderful.

You do have to love your kids enough to let them hate you. But it's the disease that's hating you, not them.

I've always been able to recount things and I have a really good memory about dialog and what people have said before and this and that.

Originally, I came from Texas, and we lived on - I guess you'd call it welfare, what we called relief.

I had a good loud voice and I wasn't afraid to be goofy or zany.
